collective.virtualtreecategories 0.2.5

Virtual tree categories/keywords for Plone

Introduction

This project aims to virtualize Plone default keywords (categories), which are flat, to the tree. Contains Archetypes widget, based on InAndOut widget, which replaces Plone’s default widget for categories and contains configlet which allows to assign flat keywords to virtual tree defined in the configlet.

Site manager defines virtual tree nodes and assigns keywords to the nodes. One keyword may be assigned to any number of nodes (0-all).

Archetypes widget contains javascript based filter which allows to filter out unwanted nodes and displays keywords in the selected node(s) only. Keywords are stored in the same way as in Plone default so storage is 100% compatible and don’t require any migrations. You can always remove this package and your content-keywords assignment stays untouched.

The controlpanel contains checkbox, which allows to set the VirtualTreeCategories widget as default widget for the Subject field of all Archetypes based content types.
